[0:05] of encouragement I want to thank you for

[0:07] tuning in today and looking forward to a

[0:09] great start off to our week excited

[0:13] about this week we're gonna be looking

[0:14] at the book of Philemon this week and so

[0:17] today we're gonna look at the first five

[0:19] verses of Philemon and so the Bible says

[0:22] Paul a prisoner of Jesus Christ and

[0:24] Timothy our brother and to Philemon our

[0:27] dearly beloved and fellow laborer and to

[0:30] our beloved epiphan and archippus

[0:32] our fellow soldier into the church in

[0:34] thine house grace to you and peace from

[0:38] God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

[0:40] I thank my god making mention of the

[0:43] always in my prayers hearing of thy love

[0:46] and faith which thou hast toward the

[0:49] Lord Jesus and toward all saints very

[0:54] excited about this week and looking

[0:56] forward to sharing with you what God has

[0:59] in store for us from the book of

[1:00] Philemon again Philemon is a fellow

[1:03] servant of Paul and he is a Pallas in

[1:07] prison it's one of their prison epistles

[1:09] and he writes him he explains to who

[1:13] he's writing to in verse number one he

[1:15] says Paul a prisoner Jesus Christ

[1:16] Timothy our brother unto Philemon our

[1:20] dearly beloved and fellow laborer and to

[1:23] our beloved epiphan archippus our fellow

[1:25] soldier and to the church that's in that

[1:27] house so those people that are listed

[1:29] there and then Paul gives a greeting as

[1:31] he did a mini of his letter grace to you

[1:33] and peace from God our Father and the

[1:35] Lord Jesus Christ and then verses verse

[1:39] number four and he says this I thank my

[1:42] god making mention of the always in my

[1:46] prayers I want to encourage you this

[1:48] morning as we look at the Apostle Paul

[1:51] and directing the letter to Philemon and

[1:53] we'll get into the rest of the letter as

[1:55] the week goes on that can you say this

[1:58] about other people in your life could

[2:01] you talk to one of your friends from

[2:03] church to one of your fellow laborers to

[2:06] one of the people that's a beloved of

[2:08] you could you talk to them and

[2:10] say this statement that the Apostle Paul

[2:13] did I think my God for you hopefully you

[2:17] can't and that you make mention of them

[2:20] always in your prayers I'm very thankful

[2:24] for some people in my life and I'm not

[2:27] gonna mention them this morning but

[2:29] there are some people that I know every

[2:32] single day make mention of me and my

[2:37] family in their prayers and I'm so

[2:38] thankful for that I'm very thankful for

[2:41] the people who I know I could call it

[2:45] anytime and give them a prayer request

[2:47] that's upon my heart and they would take

[2:49] it to the Lord on my behalf

[2:51] very thankful for people who pray and

[2:54] seek the Lord on a daily basis you ought

[2:58] to pray and I ought to pray and as I

[3:01] always look at my prayer life I always

[3:02] feel this I can always do better I could

[3:05] always do more so this week I'm gonna

[3:09] challenge myself to take time out of my

[3:13] day and make a list of people that I can

[3:18] pray for it and so I do that already but

[3:23] I'm going to focus extra time this week

[3:26] on praying for one another talk to some

[3:29] folks yesterday

[3:30] and talk to them about the situation of

[3:34] life that they're in and made mention to

[3:37] them that you know everyone is different

[3:39] in their response to this Kovan 19 some

[3:43] people are very cautious and there's

[3:45] underlying reasons for that and we need

[3:48] to be respectful of their thoughts and

[3:50] their desires other people may think

[3:53] that you know I I don't think this is as

[3:56] bad as everybody's making it out to be

[3:58] and we need to respect their thoughts

[4:00] and and their desires but both of those

[4:03] groups of people should not express any

[4:07] animosity toward one another in fact if

[4:10] anything we should pray for one another

[4:11] and so I want to challenge you this week

[4:15] let's start the week off right let's

[4:17] start Monday let's make a list of people

[4:20] that we can pray for and make mention of

[4:23] the

[4:23] always everyday in your prayers and so I

[4:28] want a challenge to make a list now you

[4:30] don't have to have an exhaustive list of

[4:32] every person who attends your church you

[4:35] don't have to do that but I would seek

[4:37] the Lord and ask him for some names some

[4:41] certain people to pray also if the Lord

[4:44] would direct you you may send them a

[4:46] message give them a phone call and say

[4:49] hey is there anything in particular that

[4:51] I can pray for you about this week and

[4:54] ask them if there's something that you

[4:58] can make you mention Oh on their behalf

[5:01] to the Lord

[5:02] their prayer requests that you will pray

[5:04] with them this week and make mention of

[5:07] then verse number five will be our last

[5:09] verse of the day Paul says that he hears

[5:12] of thy love and thy faith which thou

[5:15] hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward

[5:18] All Saints oh I love the Lord I've heard

[5:23] many people say that I love the Lord but

[5:26] does your love for the Lord to get

[5:27] expressed to other people because if you

[5:31] love him you'll love one another because

[5:35] God loves people and he wants his people

[5:40] to love people so could we write and a

[5:45] letter to you address it to you and

[5:50] would there be a statement in that

[5:52] letter that says I have heard of your

[5:55] love for God and your love for people if

[6:00] not let's work on that this week let's

[6:04] work on loving God more and loving

[6:07] people again let me challenge as we go

[6:11] throughout our week we're starting off

[6:13] Monday let's start it off on the right

[6:15] foot with a great time together as we

[6:18] look at the book of Philemon so two

[6:19] things today are you making mention of

[6:23] people in your prayers and secondly

[6:26] would your love be expressed that that's

[6:30] been heard of and seen by other people

[6:34] if not let's work on that this

[6:37] if it's true of you praise the Lord

[6:40] keep up the good work but again thank

[6:43] you for tuning in to the word of

[6:45] encouragement have a wonderful day and

[6:47] we'll see you next time right here on

[6:51] the word of encouragement have a great

[6:54] day
